Answer 1

There's an error at the end of the wall of text you pasted in that states,

GeographicLib exception: File not readable /usr/share/GeographicLib/geoids/egm96-5.pgm

Run install_geographiclib_dataset.sh script in order to install Geoid Model dataset!

Did you run that script?

Answer 2

I followed the source installation process as mentioned for mavros dependencies. And remaining problem solved here.
